A digital illustration for one of my books, done in Photoshop, drawing with a Wacom Intuos tablet. FAST, FLEXIBLE (many different potential uses and backgrounds), and easy to integrate into my digital workflow and tools (Adobe Creative Suite).
A oil study done on a Gessobord panel, 8 x 10 in., done just for fun, as a gift for a friend.
People often ask about my digital work as an illustrator, vs. the "conventional" media I've used for 50+ years.
